Cloyne 5Km

Another fantastic night at the Cloyne 5Km Wednesday evening
with superb organisation by Margaret Twohig, Tommy Hartnett and the whole of
the Cloyne crew .From start to finish everything was very well organised.Over
five hundred runners took part a little down on last year but that is to be
expected with the weather and the number of races around.Our ladies had very
good runs with Deidre Aherne 2nd O/35, Mary O’Keeffe 2nd
O/45. Marie Gillman 1st O/50 and Alannah Drennan 1st juv.
It was a great night all round with an excellent spread and lots of spot prizes. Mosr men had fine runs with Paul Fleming getting a PB 22.23 Well done Paul...Thanks to Alan Kelleher for the additional photography. Any others please send them in mdtacinfo@gmail.com
